Directions

1 Mix lime juice and chili powder in medium glass or plastic bowl; stir in chicken. Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes. Cut zucchini and yellow squash into thin slices.

3 Add chicken and marinade; stir-fry until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil; rotate skillet to coat side. Add zucchini and yellow squash; stir-fry about 4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add chicken, picante sauce and cilantro; cook and stir until hot.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Marinating--even for as little as 15 minutes--adds flavor and makes for juicier chicken. The acid in the marinade helps break down chicken's tough muscle fibers.

Make sure not to overcrowd your skillet; adding too many stir-fry ingredients at once brings down the temperature. If you have too many ingredients for your pan, cook ingredients in batches.

This is one of my favorite meals in the summer! We cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and then wrap it all up in a tortilla with some shredded cheese and non-fat sour cream.

I just made this recipe and it was delicious. It was quick and easy. My husband loved it ( and he doesn't care for chicken). Will make this again. I mixed salsa and picante to give it a spicier taste. Excellent!!!!! Will make it again.
